John Frederick Anderson, Class of 1909, pitcher. Available at: http://hdl.handle.net/10713/2465. In celebration of the Oriole’s 2021 opening day, let’s take a look back at some of UMB’s major leaguers: John Francis Hayden, Robert Baker Lawson, Archibald Wright Graham, and John Frederick Anderson. From 1901 to 1918, four UMB graduates appeared in major league baseball games, including the World Series! The players graduated from the Schools of Dentistry and Medicine with the Classes of 1902, 1905, and 1909. The four MLB Players from UMB also starred on the University’s Baseball team, which formed in the late 1890s and played the Baltimore Orioles in exhibition games in 1898 and 1899. Sports teams at UMB lasted until the early twenty-first century when grueling coursework and the lack of support from the faculty prevented students from showcasing their athletic abilities. The following post reflects the skills of some of UMB’s athletes, many of which returned to the medical field after playing professional ball. John “Jack” Francis Hayden School of Dentistry, Class of 1902, 1880-1942 John Francis “Jack” Hayden was born on October 21, 1880 in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. He attended Villanova University and the University of Pennsylvania Medical and Dental Schools (1897-1900) before graduating from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry in 1902. While at Villanova and the University of Maryland, Hayden played both baseball and football. However, while a student, Hayden also played in professional and semi-professional football and baseball leagues. By 1901, he signed his first major league contract with the Indianapolis Hoosiers of the American League. That same year he signed with the Philadelphia Athletics—then a new major league team—playing his first game April 26, 1901. He played right field and was the leadoff hitter against the Washington Senators.

Available at: http://hdl.handle.net/10713/2451. game with the Orioles occurred on June 10, 1903, where he turned heads with his hitting, scoring two runs in the 7 to 3 win against Providence. Hayden remained with the Orioles until 1905, when he illegally signed with a York team in the Tri-State (minor) League. As a result he was blacklisted by the National Commission, preventing him from playing with another major league baseball team. In 1906 he was removed from the blacklist and signed with the Boston Americans. That same year he was involved in an altercation with his teammate Hobe Ferris; Ferris was suspended by the American League for kicking Hayden in the face. Hayden fell out of favor with the team because of lackadaisical play and was traded to Rochester in 1907. From 1908 to 1910, Hayden played for the Indianapolis Indians. In 1911 he sighned with the Louisville Colonels, where a dislocated shoulder in June 1912 ended his playing career. He remained with the Louisville team as manager until 1915. Hayden also played professional football. In 1902 he played quarterback in the National Football League with the Philadelphia Athletics, and from 1903 to 1905 Hayden played for the Franklin Athletic Club, the Cleveland Massillon Tigers, and the Canton Bulldogs. Jack Hayden Baseball Card, 1909-11 While Hayden received his dental degree, he never entered the Indianapolis Indians. dentistry practice, choosing instead to return to Bryn Mawr, PA after his http://www.vintagecardprices.com/ baseball career to run a meat and provisions business. He married pics/34358.jpg. Herminnie Jadot in 1913 and died from coronary thrombosis on August 3, 1942. Robert Baker “Bob” Lawson School of Medicine, Class of 1902, 1875-1952 Robert Baker Lawson was a School of Medicine classmate of Dr. Hayden; while, there is no proof the two probably played football and baseball together for UMB. Dr. Lawson was from Lynchburg, Virginia. He attended and graduated from the University of North Carolina (UNC), Chapel Hill, where he played baseball, football, and ran track. While at UNC he held a 35 to 1 record as a pitcher. Dr. Lawson’s first major league game was played May 7, 1901 with the Boston Beaneaters, where he played for three games before signing with the Baltimore Orioles in May 1902. Lawson’s first game for the Orioles occurred May 31, 1902; he came into the game as a relief pitcher and gave away six runs. The Orioles lost six to three to Cleveland. Lawson played three more games as an Oriole before returning to Rhode Island where he played in the minor leagues. Robert Baker Lawson, 1902 Bones, Molars and Briefs Yearbook Photograph. Available at: Lawson’s time as a professional baseball player was short lived; http://hdl.handle.net/10713/2451. he joined UNC as a faculty member in 1905. During his 43 years at UNC, he served as head baseball coach (1900, 1905-1906, and 1910) as well as coached football, track, and gymnastics. He was also the school’s first athletic director and trainer and taught in the School of Medicine. In 1906, Dr. Lawson is credited with introducing UNC—arguably one of the best NCAA basketball school’s today—to the game of basketball during physical education classes. In 1911, und the petition of UNC student, Marvin Ritch, Basketball became a formal team sport at UNC. Dr. Lawson married Estelle Adlaide Ward Lawson (died in 1949). Together they had a daughter, Estelle Lawson Page. Page became an amateur golf champion in 1932. Dr. Lawson passed away October 28, 1952.

Archibald Wright Graham, 1905 Terra Mariae Yearbook Photograph. Available at: http://hdl.handle.net/10713/2454. Dr. Archibald Wright Graham or “Moonlight” Graham is the most famous Major League Baseball Player to graduate from the University of Maryland. His story was the inspiration for Doc Graham in Shoeless Joe, a novel by W.P. Kinsella, and in the major motion picture, “Field of Dreams.” Dr. Graham was born to a large, well-educated family in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Both his parents and his nine siblings were college graduates. Graham, like Dr. Lawson, earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of North Carolina, graduating in 1901. It is possible that Lawson’s and Graham’s paths crossed at UNC, as Graham played both Football and Baseball there. In the Fall of 1901, Graham began a two-year postgraduate medical course at the UNC, School of Medicine. When not in school, Graham played baseball, signing with the Charlotte Hornets of the North Carolina League in June 1902. Later he signed with Manchester of the New England League, playing there in the summers while continuing his medical education at the University of Maryland, School of Medicine. While at UMB, Graham played on the school’s baseball and football teams. After graduating from UMB, Dr. Graham took an assistant resident physician position at Bayview Hospital and signed with the New York Giants, playing with their minor league affiliate. Dr. Graham’s first and only major league game appearance occurred on June 29, 1905. The Giants were playing the Brooklyn Superbas; Graham entered the game in the ninth inning. He reportedly never touched the ball and was “on deck” when the third out occurred to end the game. The Giants won the game 11 to 1. Graham—except for a brief stint with the Memphis Archibald Wright "Moonlight" Graham while playing on the New Egyptians in 1906— continued to play minor league baseball with the York Giants.

In 1909, he retired from baseball and moved to Chisolm, Minnesota, reportedly in search of relief from respiratory problems. In Chisolm, he set up a family practice and became a beloved figure in the town. He married Alecia Flowers on September 15, 1915. In 1917 he became the physician for the Chisholm City Schools as well as the Chisolm High School sports’ team doctor. Dr. Graham also became a well- known researcher in the field of hypertension in children. He retired from work in 1960 and died in 1965. John Frederick “Fred” Anderson, School of Dentistry, Class of 1909, 1885-1957 UMB’s final Major Leaguer was John Frederick Anderson from Calahan, North Carolina.

  • Nothing Minor About It the American Association/AFL of 1936-50
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 12, No. 2 (1990) Nothing minor about it The American Association/AFL of 1936-50 By Bob Gill Try as I might, I can’t seem to mention the era before World War II without calling it “the heyday of pro football’s minor leagues.” But it’s not just an idle comment. In the 1930s several flourishing regional “circuits” of independent teams coalesced into outstanding minor leagues. From today’s perspective, one of the least likely locales for such a circuit was the New York-New Jersey area, where fans had the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers to satisfy their hunger for pro football. Despite that, the area produced the best of all the pre-war minor leagues: the American Association (soon to be immortalized in another best-selling PFRA publication). The AA was formed in June 1936, in response to a proposal by Edwin (Piggy) Simandl, manager of the Orange Tornadoes. Charter members were Brooklyn, Mt. Vernon, New Rochelle, Orange, Passaic, Paterson, Staten Island and White Plains. Several of these cities had been represented in two earlier leagues, the 1932 Eastern League and the 1933 Interstate League, both of which failed after a single season. However, those leagues didn’t have Joe Rosentover as president. Despite the early demise of his own Passaic club, Rosentover remained at the helm of the league for its whole existence. The AA’s first season was somewhat like that of its main rival, the Dixie League, which also opened for business in 1936. No team established any clear superiority, and at the end of November Rosentover announced a playoff series matching the top four teams, two each from what the newspapers sometimes called the New York group and the New Jersey group.

  • 1920 Akron Pros Ken Crippen
    Building a Champion: 1920 Akron Pros Ken Crippen BUILDING A CHAMPION: 1920 AKRON PROS By Ken Crippen It’s time to dig deep into the archives to talk about the first National Football League (NFL) champion. In fact, the 1920 Akron Pros were champions before the NFL was called the NFL. In 1920, the American Professional Football Association was formed and started play. Currently, fourteen teams are included in the league standings, but it is unclear as to how many were official members of the Association. Different from today’s game, the champion was not determined on the field, but during a vote at a league meeting. Championship games did not start until 1932. Also, there were no set schedules. Teams could extend their season in order to try and gain wins to influence voting the following spring. These late-season games were usually against lesser opponents in order to pad their win totals. To discuss the Akron Pros, we must first travel back to the century’s first decade. Starting in 1908 as the semi-pro Akron Indians, the team immediately took the city championship and stayed as consistently one of the best teams in the area. In 1912, “Peggy” Parratt was brought in to coach the team. George Watson “Peggy” Parratt was a three-time All-Ohio football player for Case Western University. While in college, he played professionally for the 1905 Shelby Blues under the name “Jimmy Murphy,” in order to preserve his amateur status. It only lasted a few weeks until local reporters discovered that it was Parratt on the field for the Blues.

    MINOR LEAGUE PRESIDENTS compiled by Tony Baseballs www.minorleaguebaseballs.com This document deals only with professional minor leagues (both independent and those affiliated with Major League Baseball) since the foundation of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (popularly known as Minor League Baseball, or MiLB) in 1902. Collegiate Summer leagues, semi-pro leagues, and all other non-professional leagues are excluded, but encouraged! The information herein was compiled from several sources including the Encyclopedia of Minor League Baseball (2nd Ed.), Baseball Reference.com, Wikipedia, official league websites (most of which can be found under the umbrella of milb.com), and a great source for defunct leagues, Indy League Graveyard.

Some have historical predecessors that will be found in the next section. LEAGUE ASSOCIATIONS The modern minor league system traces its roots to the formation of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (NAPBL) in 1902, an umbrella organization that established league classifications and a salary structure in an agreement with Major League Baseball.
